Catalan Separatist Leader Marta Rovira Returns To Spain - Barcelona

Catalan separatist leader Marta Rovira returned to Spain on Friday, after six years of self-exile in Switzerland. She was able to return without being arrested after the government passed an amnesty bill and a court shelved a case related to protests outside the Barcelona airport in 2019. The amnesty bill pardoned her for the charge of disobedience for her role in the failed 2017 independence push for Catalonia to break from Spain. Photo by Kike Rincon/Europa Press/ABACAPRESS.COM
